Song of the eider

Oh thismade me think around the content:- Cloud drapes me
.........................clouds drape my body The white muslin shroud 
the call of eider goldeneye
 I’m deaf a corpse........perhaps just -deaf corpse- is enough Song of the eider........or cry of the eider Cloud muslin shroud draped deaf to sound Song of eider now dead to sound clouds of muslin draped Muslin shroud draped cloud song eider no sound I hear the eider calls in the clouds my shrouds Eider goldeneye in shrouds of mist no sound i hear Deaf corpse am I the eider calls, his voice like muslin unheard clouded shrouds hide shrill cries of the eider goldeneye my corpse Dead to sound the eider calls like muslin shrouds the clouds Oh I have had fun trying to do alternatives as the idea is nice but not quite right for me! I don't know I shall have to give up and let it be. 'Scuse I Ann of Norway with love.
